Strategic Objectives
To achieve the project goal, ArCS III has set three strategic objectives. Strategic Objective 1 is responsible for generating outcomes based on a natural scientific understanding of changes in the Arctic natural environment and their environmental impacts. Strategic Objective 3 is responsible for generating outcomes based on an understanding of changes in the cultures and socio-economic systems unique to the Arctic. Strategic Objective 2 involves forming interdisciplinary research teams to address issues where both of these approaches (i.e. Strategic Objective 1 and 2) are equally effective, thereby generating information useful for solving such challenges.
Strategic Objective 1
By combining high-quality observations, analysis, and numerical models across diverse scientific fields, we aim to better understand and predict changes in the Arctic environment.
Strategic Objective 2
We provide knowledge that supports policy-making and the building of sustainable societies, helping communities and people adapt to the impacts of environmental change.
Strategic Objective 3
We focus on the cultures and social systems of people living in the Arctic, studying how they are changing in the midst of rapid transformations, and exploring pathways toward coexistence.
